law. He has money and is popular, and divided his time in the curiousity of music and motors. He met Ségoiun in
Cambridge and invested in Ségouin's establishment. Treated Ségouin as his role model because of his power.

hotels in the world and is the cousin of André Rivière. He is also about to start a motor establishment in Paris. André Rivière- A young electrician born in Canada, and is the cousin of Ségouin. Was appointed future manager of
Ségouin's upcoming establishment. Villona- a very poor, big Hungarian man that is very good at the piano.
MINOR CHARACTERS: Routh- a young Englishman that has dinner with the 5 friends. Farley- A fat American man that owned the ship that they all went to gamble.
Analysis of characters:
The characters are basically the essence of story and they are what the author want thereaders to focus on.
The author then uses the characters in his story to depict the theme and topic of the story. In thisstory,
"After the Race", James Joyce uses different type of characters that have later on in the story, show different
sides of their personality. He uses a third person narrative so that the readers are able to focus on all the characters,
but at the same time, talks about Jimmy Doyle the most so that the readers are able to see the point of the story
through this character. As we see in the story, we see the admiration of the main character to a very rich and powerful
man and hangs out with this mans 'posse'. As the story progresses, we then
see that the man and his posse are notso admirable after all as they all eventually deceits him and show their side that
they do not acutally care about Jimmy and only cares about their own wealth and power.
